GAS1 and Sepsis: Given the previous report of H19 acting as an hsa-miR-301a-3p sponge to mitigate lung injury in sepsis models [35] and the positive correlation we observed between H19 and GAS1 in RIF, we hypothesize that H19 may serve as a ceRNA, regulating GAS1 expression by competitively binding to hsa-miR-301a-3p.
